Both the world’s largest offshore wind farm and the world’s largest complex of wind farms will soon appear off the British coasts, showing an unprecedented value of renewable energies. Hornsea One by the Danish energy company Ørsted (formerly DONG Energy) and Dogger Bank’s three projects developed by the Scottish SSE will make Britain the biggest offshore wind market in the world.

The largest single offshore wind farm under construction is Hornsea One (1,218MW), while Dogger Bank is made of three projects (Dogger Bank Creyke Beck A, Dogger Bank Creyke Beck B and Teesside A—each with a capacity of 1,200MW).

Global commissioning of onshore wind turbines declined 3 percent in 2018, partly due to a slowdown in India and Germany. Growth is expected to bounce back in 2019, with a 32 percent jump to 60 GW.

Developers commissioned a little over 45 GW of onshore wind turbines globally in 2018 compared with 47 GW a year earlier. Just four manufacturers accounted for more than half, or 57 percent, of the machines deployed: Denmark’s Vestas, China’s Goldwind, GE Renewable Energy of the U.S.

New figures from BloombergNEF (BNEF) show that corporations bought a record amount of 13.4GW of clean energy through power purchase agreements (PPAs) in 2018, well over double the previous record of 6.1GW set in 2017.

The research firm’s latest Corporate Energy Market Outlook, reveals that 121 companies in 21 different countries signed up to buy renewable energy last year. More than 60% of those purchases were in the US, where PPAs to buy 8.5GW of power were signed, almost three times 2017’s figure.

Onshore and offshore wind farms in Germany generated almost 15 terrawatt-hours of electricity in December, according to the energy and water industry trade association BDEW.

The association said a total of 14.83 billion kilowatt-hours was produced by wind power in the last month of the year.

This would be enough to cover the electricity consumption of Berlin or Schleswig-Holstein for one year, it said.

However, in reality there is a lack of energy storage facilities to use volatile renewable power as needed, BDEW added.

1. US oil production exceeded expectations.

A year ago, the Energy Information Administration estimated that US crude production would increase in 2018, below 600,000 barrels. This proved to be an inadequate statement: the actual increase was about 1.6 million v / g. This is a bit ahead of the previous summit in 1970, and also a bit ahead of Russia, the second largest producer in the world, which reported that October produced a record record of approximately 11.4 million v / g.
